iPad Mini messages not displaying contact name

[kmcbkc93]

I'm new here so I hope I'm posting this ? in the appropriate forum ... I just purchased a new 16GB iPad Mini w/Wi-Fi ... I successfully added my contacts from my Gmail account into the contacts on my iPad however when I send & receive messages to & from people in my "contacts" the message does not show their name; instead it shows +1 & the person's area code & # i.e. +1 (000) 555-5555 ... In the "contacts" folder on my iPad the +1 is NOT included in phone # field ... I also have an iPhone 4s that displays names on incoming & outgoing messages ... Is there a setting I can change so that names appear on incoming & outgoing messages on iPad?

Please let me know if additional ifo is needed.

Thank you!

... BTW not sure if this matters but when someone sends me a message the message is delivered to BOTH my iPhone & iPad ... Phone messages display name but iPad displays +1, area code, & phone #.

it is really strange, i have never met this problem, maybe you can send e-mail to the apple customer service.

Try to sync those contacts again maybe it will work after that...
